SOMEONE V107
Is that the man
(who are you, who are you?)
they talk about?
Is that the man
(who are you, who are you?)
they talk about?
Do you know where he's from?
Do you know where he's from?
We've been seeing some extraordinary events.
There's a man travelling our country doing amazing things:
curing the incurable, restoring sight and hearing
to the blind and deaf , making the paralysed walk and
the speechless talk, helping the suffering from their cravings
and the mentally ill regain the peace of mind.
We don't know who he is, but he seems to be
one of us.
Speaks so fine,
(so fine, so fine)
looks so friendly.
Speaks so fine,
(so fine, so fine)
looks so friendly.
Care so much for everyone.
Care soo much for everyoned.
What's the matter people?
Do you know what's going on?
What's the matter people?
Do you know what's going on?
Who's the man they talk about?
We've seen him speaking in public.
He's not afraid to criticize the way our rulers and leaders work.
He says they are motivated by their selfish ambitions
and not by love for their people.
He's teaching us what is really good for us,
but he uses stories and metaphors with hidden meanings.
For instance, he says we was sent by his Father and that
we cannot see the place he comes from, but he will take us there.
Is that the man
(who are you, who are you?)
they talk about?
Is that the man
(who are you, who are you?)

Do you know where he's from?
Do you know where he's from?
Most of the religious men and intellectuals are upset
by what he says and does.
They say he's misleading people,
that he's a danger to society.
He's name is J.C.

There are rumours
of a plot against this man,

He made friends and enemies as well,

Will he escape?

Will he escape?
Ain't no clever talk in the wicked mind.
(just a jealous smoke, just a jealous smoke),
yeah that's right, yeah that's right!
(just a jealous smoke, just a jealous smoke).
Ain't no dear joy to cheer the heart of the blind.
(just a jealous smoke, just a jealous smoke)
yeah that's right, yeah that's right!
(just a jealous smoke, just a jealous smoke).
Our man, well he keeps on moving on,
the crowds are following him anywhere
he goes; the sick, the lonely, the abandoned and
the poor,to them he`s giving a brand new hope!
Will he escape?

Will he escape?

BELOVED FRIENDS V107
It was the time of the year
It was the time when the lambs
get slaughtered.
J.C. Said : “Go my friends, go, into the city.”
Go to the man who'll be there,
he'll be carrying bottles,
bottles of mineral water.
Follow him, follow him.
Where he goes say to the owner:
“Our teacher wants to know,
if you have a place, to prepare
a party with them.”
“He will take you upstairs and show you
the room ready to use.
Prepare for us there,
prepare the party,
we'll be there.”
At the meal he said:
“One of you who is now
eating here with me, by him
I will be betrayed.”
“I will die, but it will be horrible
for the one who betrays me.
That man would be better off,
would be better off,
if he'd never been born.”
It was the time of the year
It was the time when the lambs
get slaughtered.
J.C. Said : “Go my friends, go, into the city.”
Go to the man who'll be there,
he'll be carrying bottles,
bottles of mineral water.

NIGHT CRY V107
They all went out of the city
to the place they knew
and told them “sit here while I pray.”
I am so sad that I
feel I`m dying,
stay with me,
stay awake.
He asked the three of them
to keep the watch with him,
as he walked
on a little way .
He knelt down
on the ground
and there he prayed, and
there he prayed like this:
Father, all things are possible to you,
remove this cup from me.
But not my will,
not my will,
Your will be done!
When he returned
he found them sleeping,
`cos they just couldn`t
keep the watch with him.
Are you asleep?
Can't you stay awake
just for an hour
with me while I pray?
Stay awake,
pray you won't fail,
you wanna do what is right,
but you are weak.
Get up! Get up!
Let's go! Let`s go!
The time has come! The time has
come!
They`re taking me away! ooooooooh!
Get up! Get up!
Let`s go! Let`s go!
The time has come! The time has
come!
My betrayer is near.

I can see
this is getting tough,
there`s a mob of men
armed with guns,
torches and clubs
approaching, approaching us.
My gosh,
there he is, one of his
closest friends,
leading them,
I can`t believe this,
JC `s betrayed!!
Walking, he`s walking
right up to JC.

He`s grabbed,
they`re taking him away,
his friends are
leaving, all leaving him,
all running away,
they`re all running,
running away,
all running away!
Why did you come
with guns,
guns and clubs
to arrest me
just like a criminal?
Day after day
I was with you
and you didn`t lay
hands on me,
but what was foretold
must come true.
Walking, he`s walking
right up to JC.

BEST FRIEND V107
Out there
someone stared at a man
and shouted:
"You were with him."
Loud the clock struck the hour,
when he turned away his face
he turned away his face
and whispered
"No."
Before the clock strikes twice
three times you`ll say
that you don`t know me.
Before the clock strikes twice
three times you`ll say
that you never knew me.
Out there
someone pointed at the man
and shouted:
"He is one of them!"
Loud the clock struck again,
when he closed his eyes,
he closed his eyes
and screamed
"Nooo!"
I don't know this man,
I don't know this man.
Before the clock strikes twice
three times you`ll say
that you don`t know me.
Before the clock strikes twice
three times you`ll say
that you never knew me.
You certainly are one of them! x3
You are one of them
He remembered...
And started crying, crying
the tears of sorrow,
the tears of blame,
broken hearted,
remembering,
comfortless,
lonely...
only crying
for his friend.
Before the clock strikes twice....

everybody's waiting for J.C.

Hand-cuffed!
They're leading him to the judge,

Here he comes!
JC!
He`s hand-cuffed!
Hand-cuffed!

you`ve been accused of?
Why don`t you speak?
Why don`t you speak?
Why don`t you speak?
Why don`t you speak,
Why don`t you speak,
J.C. ?
Say something!
Say something!
The silence is really heavy,
J.C. doesn`t say a word,
it looks like he doesn`t want to fight
for his life!
Silence. The judge is amazed.
Now the jury retires.
Anguish, waiting,

SENTENCED TO DEATH V107
The soldiers led J.C. to the palace courtyard
and called the other soldiers over too,
they put a purple robe on him and on his head
they placed a crown made out of thorns.
They made fun of him and shouted,
"Hail, our great king!",
Then they beat him on the head with a stick,
they spat on him and knelt down to worship him,
pretended to worship him.
I see back to a different time
so cruel and unjust,
it should belong to history,
but it`s here, here right now.
The soldiers are taking off the purple robe,
putting his clothes back on him,
they are now out in the main city street,
they`re marching between wings of crowd.
They took him to the place called the Skull
and offered him wine mixed with drugs,
a drink to ease the pain, but he refused it,
he refused to drink .
It was about nine o'clock in the morning,
they nailed him to a cross and gambled to see
who would get his clothes under the
sign that said:
"This is our King".
"This is our King".
I see back to a different time,
so cruel and unjust,
it should belong to history,
but it`s here, here right now.
People passing by are shouting at him:
"You`re the one who have claimed
I can tear the temple down to the
ground and build a new one in three days!"
Come down from the cross
and save yourself!
Come down from the cross
and save yourself!
He saved others,
but he can't save himself.
He saved others,
but not himself.
If he`s the Christ,
let him come down the cross
If he`s the Christ,
let him come down the cross,
let him come down the cross
that we may see,
that we may see and believe!

THE TOMB V107
This morning we are bringing you
some of a most amazing news
and a stunning fact:
the body of J.C. that was placed in a chapel
after the execution, seems to be gone.
Some women from his staff
went there today,
but to their shock they found out
that his body was -
missing!
But let`s hear the whole story
directly from one of them:
Early this morning,
I went with other women
to the chapel and along the way,
we were wondering how to unlock the door,
for we had no key.
But when we arrived
the door was wide open
